    I am just going to use the Alky for Backup... I dont want to run 6-8psi and Alky mix to keep it Rich... When i turn the boost up 10+ I think then I will Give it a Try.. I have had alot of fuel problems in the past... I think the stock tank is a drawback.. On a Dyno They hold up Fine.. but Take that 700hp truck out on a Road course with under half a tank and see what Happens.. Also Who really even knows exactly how much fuel is in the tank without Testing the sender/Tank/Guage... I will set my Own sender up in the fuel cell and I will know for sure.. also the tank has a Sump to draw from...

    I need fittings.. worked on wires under the truck,Clean parts for the trans for an hour.. Made a bracket for the Aeromotive fuel pressure Regulator .. I am thinking about Taking off the Firewall insulation ... I plan to have fuel system parts in the AM... Not sure how much I can work on it Friday night... But I have plenty to carry me over Till the weekend... Might even get a Stall Converter to Try if it ever makes it.... The Alky System has taken more time then anything..... Took a few pics to show it off... Since you might never see it on the truck .. Outside pics

    well

    I have a port on my Y block that i am going to use a sender and guage inside.. dont waste your time moving yours unless its close to the exhaust or something.. Get something to install inside the truck .. So you can see what its doing at WOT running down the road...
